And I'm even more sure that someone else will correct me before the ink on their screen is dry.

"Depend upon it, Sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a

Boswell's "Life of Samuel Johnson", Sept. 19, 1777 entry

Another good one from the same source: "Sir, I have found you an argument; but I am not obliged to find you an understanding."
